Blue mass pill

I had an opportunity to visit the Aloe Vera factory in Aruba recently.

Our guide explained that the juice from cut Aloe, if ingested, causes explosive results.

Well, the "latex" which is a thin layer of material just under the skin of the plant does have that effect and, in fact, can be fatal in large quantities and cause kidney damage. Much of the Aloe plant, though, is safe to consume in certain forms. I take a powdered Aloe product every day and have no ill effects whatsoever.

Yeah, hence aloe vera products on your shelves. I'm pointing out the details relevant to this thread.

Had dinner with one of my sons last night who's also a tattoo artist . Has a shop just outside of Boston.

Where outside? My wife is from Lynn. Yes, yes, I know, the "city of sin".

In those days it was a race to see what killed you first, the disease or the cure.

Makes me wonder the extent of cinnabar hiding the bugs from tattooed guys. I guess we'll never know. Much like those pocket handkerchiefs.

Can see why people stuck with good old home remedies like hog lard and turpentine.
